Avila College 35 Charles Street, Mount Waverley, Victoria 3149

"I go to a different all girls school but i really wanna come here because my cousins go here My other school is kinda messed up I keep wondering is there a girl in year 9 at this school who is dating someone from dandenong high? email me if so-"

"My first impression from the school open evening? Fantastic! The principal enthused with the values we believe in. After reading the materials in the show bag I have a strong impression that the school values student autonomy to find their passion and pursue it. It is evident that the school encourages student input into every part of school life, from designing the Avila passport to organizing school events. Student works are displayed throughout the school celebrating every subject. Concerns? The school grounds are quite small, without much green space. If we were there during school hours I fear it would be quite cramped. The common areas for years 7 and 8 are uninviting, between rows of really tall lockers. My daughter doesn’t know anyone from her school who are coming here, that could make it hard for her to settle in :("

"There is a wheelchair car park but it is taken up by a sign stating there are currently exams taking place. Of course this should have been moved to a standard car park to allow those that need to, to use the only invalid space allocated at the front entry. Also there are building works happening and the building trades people appear to have taken over most of the car parking which should not happen, they should park around the corner in other streets."

"First of all the teacher can’t teach, they lack in every aspect and fail to teach the student without a powerpoint and talk for the entire class. I don’t recommend your daughter attends Avila as it actual hell as the teachers are always picking on individual student and As a former member of Avila the core reason I left was because of the lack of support the teachers show and the way the schools runs. It made me hate getting up in the morning. overall DON’T RECOMMEND!!!"

"I love the look of Avila College and the joyful spirit that is almost overwhelming!! Everyone is really friendly there, including most of the teachers. Everyone there from 7-12 studies really hard just like any other school. Avila is also very strong in the Catholic Faith and teachers there to guide students along the path for learning a deeper meaning from the Catholic Bible. There are also a lot of clubs to do at lunchtime like Music (choir, musical instruments, plus more), Book Club, Debating, Public Speaking, Art Club and more! They also have many sports after school and before school during the Summer and Winter period. Also hundreds of events during a year at Avila that most of the students participate in. I personally think Avila is a great school to educate young women for the future of our world, in such capable hands of the Avila Community."
